Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-severe haemophilia A patient can be treated with desmopressin or factor VIII (FVIII) concentrate. Combining both may reduce factor consumption, but its feasibility and safety has never been investigated. AIM We assessed the feasibility and safety of combination treatment in nonsevere haemophilia A patients. METHODS Non-severe, desmopressin responsive, haemophilia A patients were included in one of two studies investigating peri-operative combination treatment. In the single-arm DAVID study intravenous desmopressin (0.3 μg/kg) once-a-day was, after sampling, immediately followed by PK-guided FVIII concentrate, for maximally three consecutive days. The Little DAVID study was a randomized trial in patients undergoing a minor medical procedure, whom received either PK-guided combination treatment (intervention arm) or PK-guided FVIII concentrate only (standard arm) up to 2 days. Dose predictions were considered accurate if the absolute difference between predicted and measured FVIII:C was ≤0.2 IU/mL. RESULTS In total 32 patients (33 procedures) were included. In the DAVID study (n = 21), of the FVIII:C trough levels 73.7% (14/19) were predicted accurately on day 1 (D1), 76.5% (13/17) on D2. On D0, 61.9% (13/21) of peak FVIII:C levels predictions were accurate. In the Little DAVID study (n = 12), on D0 83.3% (5/6) FVIII:C peak levels for both study arms were predicted accurately. Combination treatment reduced preoperative FVIII concentrate use by 47% versus FVIII monotherapy. Desmopressin side effects were mild and transient. Two bleeds occurred, both despite FVIII:C > 1.00 IU/mL. CONCLUSION Peri-operative combination treatment with desmopressin and PK-guided FVIII concentrate dosing in nonsevere haemophilia A is feasible, safe and reduces FVIII consumption.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Care for adolescents with haemophilia is transferred from paediatric to adult care around the age of 18 years. Transition programs help to prepare adolescents for this transfer and prevent declining treatment adherence. Evaluating transition readiness may identify areas for improvement. OBJECTIVE Assess transition readiness among Dutch adolescents and young adults with haemophilia, determine factors associated with transition readiness, and identify areas of improvement in transition programs. METHODS All Dutch adolescents and young adults aged 12-25 years with haemophilia were invited to participate in a nationwide questionnaire study. Transition readiness was assessed using multiple-choice questions and was defined as being ready or almost ready for transition. Potential factors associated with transition readiness were investigated, including: socio-demographic and disease-related factors, treatment adherence, health-related quality of life, and self-efficacy. RESULTS Data of 45 adolescents and 84 young adults with haemophilia (47% with severe haemophilia) were analyzed. Transition readiness increased with age, from 39% in 12-14 year-olds to 63% in 15-17 year-olds. Nearly all post-transition young adults (92%, 77/84) reported they were ready for transition. Transition readiness was associated with treatment adherence, as median VERITAS-Pro treatment adherence scores were worse in patients who were not ready (17, IQR 9-29), compared to those ready for transition (11, IQR 9-16). Potential improvements were identified: getting better acquainted with the adult treatment team prior to transition and information on managing healthcare costs. CONCLUSIONS Nearly all post-transition young adults reported they were ready for transition. Improvements were identified regarding team acquaintance and preparation for managing healthcare costs.

Abstract
Currently, nearly all health care institutions in the Netherlands employ patient portals to help engage and empower patients. Yet, the fragmented landscape of incompatible portals hampers patient engagement. The implementation of national personal health records (PHRs) could help to resolve this. PHRs are websites or apps in which all relevant medical data of all health care providers involved are collected. PHRs are managed by patients. The Netherlands has adopted a free-market model, in which private companies develop PHRs and the government acts as a controlling body. Although PHRs can ultimately aid shared-decision making and patient participation, several challenges have to be overcome. How are safety and privacy taken into consideration? How will PHRs change the communication between patients and health care providers? Can we standardize and integrate all relevant patient information? And finally, how can we make PHRs understandable and easy-to-use for all patients, especially those with lower health literacy?

Abstract
Introduction Although sports participation is advocated in people with haemophilia (PWH), detailed data concerning sports participation in Dutch PWH is lacking. Aim to assess sports participation in Dutch PWH (6‐65 years) compared to the Dutch general population (GP). Methods Data from a nationwide, cross‐sectional study in PWH were analysed. Sports participation (type, duration, frequency) was assessed by the Modifiable Activities Questionnaire (MAQ), limitations in activities using the (Paediatric) Haemophilia Activities List ((Ped)HAL). Sports in the two highest categories according to the National Hemophilia Foundation classification were considered high‐risk sports. Groups were compared using Chi‐square testing. Results A total of 524 Adult PWH (median age: 45 (IQR: 30–55); 37% severe) and 126 paediatric PWH (median age: 11 (IQR: 8–14); 52% severe) were included. Sports participation was higher in adults (70%) than the GP (58%) and similar to the GP in children (PWH: 68%, GP: 72%). High‐risk sports participation decreased with age in PWH: from 65% (6‐12 years) to 17% (50‐65 years), which was also observed in the GP. Sports participation in children was independent of severity (non‐severe: 67% vs. severe: 65%; P = 0.97), but not in adults (non‐severe: 75%, severe: 62%; P < 0.01). Non‐severe PWH played more high‐risk sports than severe PWH: children at 65% vs. 48% (P = 0.05), adults at 25% vs. 15% (P = 0.07). Discussion These results suggest that sports participation in PWH was comparable to the GP. Sports participation was dependent of haemophilia severity in adults. Children were more involved in high‐risk sports than adults. More studies on sports‐related injury‐risk are needed for adequate counselling.

Abstract
AIMS Population pharmacokinetic (PK) models are increasingly applied to perform individualized dosing of factor VIII (FVIII) concentrates in haemophilia A patients. To guarantee accurate performance of a population PK model in dose individualization, validation studies are of importance. However, external validation of population PK models requires independent data sets and is, therefore, seldomly performed. Therefore, this study aimed to validate a previously published population PK model for FVIII concentrates administrated perioperatively. METHODS A previously published population PK model for FVIII concentrate during surgery was validated using independent data from 87 children with severe haemophilia A with a median (range) age of 2.6 years (0.03-15.2) and body weight of 14 kg (4-57). First, the predictive performance of the previous model was evaluated with MAP Bayesian analysis using NONMEM v7.4. Subsequently, the model parameters were (re)estimated using a combined dataset consisting of the previous modelling data and the data available for the external validation. RESULTS The previous model underpredicted the measured FVIII levels with a median of 0.17 IU mL-1 . Combining the new, independent and original data, a dataset comprising 206 patients with a mean age of 7.8 years (0.03-77.6) and body weight of 30 kg (4-111) was obtained. Population PK modelling provided estimates for CL, V1, V2, and Q: 171 mL h-1 68 kg-1 , 2930 mL 68 kg-1 , 1810 mL 68 kg-1 , and 172 mL h-1 68 kg-1 , respectively. This model adequately described all collected FVIII levels, with a slight median overprediction of 0.02 IU mL-1 . CONCLUSIONS This study emphasizes the importance of external validation of population PK models using real-life data.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Haemophilia is a congenital bleeding disorder mainly affecting males. To prevent bleeding, patients need to perform regular intravenous injections (prophylaxis) throughout life. Non-adherence often occurs. Problems with acceptance or self-management appear to be the main reasons for non-adherence in haemophilia. The aim of this study was to test the feasibility and effects of two interventions focussed on acceptance (face-to-face) and self-management (online). METHODS Patients with severe haemophilia and acceptance or self-management problems were eligible. The face-to-face group intervention was based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) (8 sessions/6 months, target N = 8 participants). The online intervention was based on a successful online programme in rheumatoid arthritis (5-8 modules/2 months, target N = 8). Both interventions were designed according to the MRC framework in collaboration with the patient society and experts. We compared adherence (VERITAS-Pro, optimum 0), quality of life (SF-36, optimum 100) and illness perception (BIPQ, optimum 0) before start (T0) and after 2 months (T2). Feasibility criteria were as follows: completion of training by > 50% of participants and ability to collect at least 80% of outcome parameters. RESULTS The face-to-face intervention was feasible (89% enrolment and recruitment, 100% retention). One hundred percent of the outcome parameters was collected. Results were promising: although adherence (VERITAS-Pro) was stable (from 64 to 62 points), quality of life (SF-36) showed a clinically relevant improvement (> 5 points) in five of eight domains. Illness perception (BIPQ) showed a clinically relevant increase from 47 to 39 points. Patient evaluation was positive. The online intervention, however, was infeasible: enrolment was only 20% (6/30). Only three patients signed informed consent (recruitment 10%), and none completed more than one module (retention 0%). Consequently, the online intervention was terminated. CONCLUSION The face-to-face acceptance intervention was considered feasible with promising results. Unfortunately, the online intervention was infeasible and therefore terminated. These findings suggest that adapting effective interventions to other settings does not guarantee success, despite the use of established methodology and patient participation. Population differences (only male participants, congenital disease) could be an explanation for failure of the online intervention in haemophilia despite success in rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Essentials Factor IX (FIX) dosing using body weight frequently results in under and overdosing during surgery. We aimed to establish a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model describing the perioperative FIX levels. Population PK parameter values for clearance and V1 were 284 mL h-170 kg-1 and 5450 mL70 kg-1. Perioperative PK parameters differ from those during non-surgical prophylactic treatment. SUMMARY: Background Hemophilia B is a bleeding disorder characterized by a deficiency of coagulation factor IX (FIX). In the perioperative setting, patients receive FIX concentrates to ensure hemostasis. Although FIX is usually dosed according to bodyweight, under- and overdosing occurs frequently during surgery. Aim The objective was to quantify and explain the interpatient variability of perioperatively administered plasma-derived (pd) and recombinant (r) FIX concentrates. Methods Data were collected from 118 patients (median age, 40 years [range, 0.2-90]; weight, 79 kg [range, 5.3-132]) with moderate (28%) or severe hemophilia B (72%), undergoing 255 surgical procedures. Population pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were estimated using nonlinear mixed-effect modeling in NONMEM. Results Measured perioperative FIX level vs. time profiles were adequately described using a three-compartment PK model. For a typical 34-year-old patient receiving rFIX, clearance (CL), intercompartmental clearance (Q2, Q3), distribution volume of the central compartment (V1) and peripheral compartments (V2, V3) plus interpatient variability (%CV) were: CL, 284 mL h-170 kg-1 (18%); V1, 5450 mL70 kg-1 (19%); Q2, 110 mL h-170 kg-1; V2, 4800 mL70 kg-1; Q3, 1610 mL h-170 kg-1; V3, 2040 mL70 kg-1. From 0.2 years, CL and V1 decreased 0.89% and 1.15% per year, respectively, until the age of 34 years. Patients receiving pdFIX exhibited a lower CL (11%) and V1 (17%) than patients receiving rFIX. Interpatient variability was successfully quantified and explained. Conclusions The estimated perioperative PK parameters of both pdFIX and rFIX are different from those reported for prophylactic treatment. The developed model may be used to apply PK-guided dosing of FIX concentrates during surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Haemophilia B is caused by a deficiency of coagulation factor IX (FIX) and characterized by bleeding in muscles and joints. In the perioperative setting, patients are treated with FIX replacement therapy to secure haemostasis. Targeting of specified FIX levels is challenging and requires frequent monitoring and adjustment of therapy. AIM To evaluate perioperative management in haemophilia B, including monitoring of FIX infusions and observed FIX levels, whereby predictors of low and high FIX levels were assessed. METHODS In this international multicentre study, haemophilia B patients with FIX < 0.05 IU mL-1 undergoing elective, minor or major surgical procedures between 2000 and 2015 were included. Data were collected on patient, surgical and treatment characteristics. Observed FIX levels were compared to target levels as recommended by guidelines. RESULTS A total of 255 surgical procedures were performed in 118 patients (median age 40 years, median body weight 79 kg). Sixty percent of FIX levels within 24 hours of surgery were below target with a median difference of 0.22 IU mL-1 [IQR 0.12-0.36]; while >6 days after surgery, 59% of FIX levels were above target with a median difference of 0.19 IU mL-1 [IQR 0.10-0.39]. Clinically relevant bleeding complications (necessity of a second surgical intervention or red blood cell transfusion) occurred in 7 procedures (2.7%). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that targeting of FIX levels in the perioperative setting is complex and suboptimal, but although this bleeding is minimal. Alternative dosing strategies taking patient and surgical characteristics as well as pharmacokinetic principles into account may help to optimize and individualize treatment.

Abstract
UNLABELLED ESSENTIALS: Targeting of factor VIII values is a challenge during perioperative replacement therapy in hemophilia. This study aims to identify the extent and predictors of factor VIII underdosing and overdosing. Blood group O predicts underdosing and is associated with perioperative bleeding. To increase quality of care and cost-effectiveness of treatment, refining of dosing is obligatory. SUMMARY BACKGROUND Perioperative administration of factor VIII (FVIII) concentrate in hemophilia A may result in both underdosing and overdosing, leading to respectively a risk of bleeding complications and unnecessary costs. OBJECTIVES This retrospective observational study aims to identify the extent and predictors of underdosing and overdosing in perioperative hemophilia A patients (FVIII levels < 0.05 IU mL(-1)). PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred nineteen patients undergoing 198 elective, minor, or major surgical procedures were included (median age 40 years, median body weight 75 kg). Perioperative management was evaluated by quantification of perioperative infusion of FVIII concentrate and achieved FVIII levels. Predictors of underdosing and (excessive) overdosing were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Excessive overdosing was defined as upper target level plus ≥ 0.20 IU mL(-1). RESULTS Depending on postoperative day, 7-45% of achieved FVIII levels were under and 33-75% were above predefined target ranges as stated by national guidelines. A potential reduction of FVIII consumption of 44% would have been attained if FVIII levels had been maintained within target ranges. Blood group O and major surgery were predictive of underdosing (odds ratio [OR] 6.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.7-14.9; OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.4-7.9). Blood group O patients had more bleeding complications in comparison to patients with blood group non-O (OR 2.02, 95% CI 1.00-4.09). Patients with blood group non-O were at higher risk of overdosing (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.1-1.9). Additionally, patients treated with bolus infusions were at higher risk of excessive overdosing (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.3-2.4). CONCLUSION Quality of care and cost-effectiveness can be improved by refining of dosing strategies based on individual patient characteristics such as blood group and mode of infusion.
